National Museum of Qatar

Qatar, like many other Middle East countries, is going through a period of rapid urbanisation. New cities of eye-catching buildings & epic planning are being built as arenas for consumerism, finance and cultural showcasing.
Monumental in scale, The National Museum of Qatar is an example of the epic urban statement that these cities use to put themselves on the global map.
These photographs from 2015 capture it unpolished and exposed. A bare structure of ambition, extravagance & innovation carving its own space into the city backdrop.
